Tom Brady posts a tribute to his ex-wife Gisele Bundchen on Mother’s Day with an Instagram post featuring his own mother Galynn and Bridgette Moynahan – the mother of his son Jack
Tom Brady has posted a moving tribute on Mother’s Day to his ex-wife Gisele Bundchen and his own mother, Galynn.
Brady and Brazilian model Gisele divorced last October after 13 years together. They share two children, daughter Vivienne and son Benjamin.
His post also features Bridgette Moynahan, Brady’s ex before he met Gisele. They had a son, Jack, together.
Brady, 45, wrote: “Happy Mother’s Day to all those amazing women who have given so much to our family throughout their lives.
“Thank you all for your love, compassion and kindness, and for setting such an incredible example for all of our little ones.
“We are all very grateful for your support and for helping us achieve our dreams. I wish all the mothers in the world a special day with the people who love them the most.
Brady’s divorce from Bundchen came amid widespread reports that she was unhappy he was not retiring for one more NFL season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
But in an interview with Vanity Fair in March, she strongly distanced herself from those suggestions.
“Listen, I always cheered him on and I will keep going forever,” she said. “If there’s one person I want to be the happiest in the world, it’s him, believe me.
“I want him to succeed and conquer. I want all his dreams to come true. This is what I really want from the bottom of my heart.
“Sometimes you grow together; sometimes you walk away. “When I was 26 and he was 29, we met, we wanted a family, we wanted things together.
“Over time, we realize we just wanted different things, and now we have a choice to make. It doesn’t mean you don’t like the person. It just means that for you to be authentic and truly live the life you want to live, you have to have someone who can meet you in the middle, right? It’s a dance. It’s a balance.
When Brady announced his retirement in February, Bundchen commented on his Instagram post with, “Wishing you nothing but wonderful things in this new chapter of your life.”
